This reflects the shift in generations from the Lionel Messi/Cristiano Ronaldo era to that of new stars. Only Ruben Dias (CB), Achraf Hakimi (RB) and Kevin De Bruyne (AM) retained their positions from the 2021 year-end ranking. We have a fresh, new-look list with seven new No. Go to: Goalkeeper | Right-back | Centre-back | Left-back | Central midfield | Attacking midfield | Winger | Forward | Striker | Manager Our ranking gives each position their due and gives readers the closest thing to a position-by-position 'depth chart' across world soccer.

The end result is an uninspiring list that is heavily weighted toward goal scorers (forwards) and players who create goals from midfield, paying little attention to the talent in less glamorous areas of the pitch. The FC 100 is different because we truly take into account all 11 positions on the field most countdowns go talent-first with little regard for where the stars play. We're back! After a brief hiatus caused by the winter World Cup in Qatar, ESPN presents its seventh annual ranking of the best men's players and coaches in world soccer! Welcome to FC 100. The FC 1: Haaland, Mbappe lead our list of best men's soccer players
